I'm not really sure that I can tell her 'bout the life I lived.
I didn't break many laws, but I was sure enough a troubled kid
I often let myself down and oh how I've known regret
Hey, it's gonna be hard
But she'd hear me out
Oh palindrome
The place that knew me well
And if I returned, would you see I'm a different man?
I still think of you with a fondness and a love
I'm just sorry for the foolish things I done
Well I'm not really sure I've come to terms with it all myself
For being a mess in the bars and the shame from the blackouts
Well what good are regrets when they only put your life on a shelf
Oh how I know that it's hard
To forgive yourself
Oh palindrome
The place that knew me well
And if I returned, would you see I'm a different man?
I still think of you with a fondness and a love
I'm just sorry for the foolish things I done
Down on the banks of the Boyne
I was drift-less in a formative time
I wish I knew then what I know now
But as a young man I could never reach out
Oh palindrome
The place that knew me well
And if I returned, would you see I'm a different man?
I still think of you with a fondness and a love
I'm just sorry for the foolish things..
I'm just sorry for the foolish things..
I'm just sorry for the foolish things I done
